When You’re Out Of The Office
You prepare. You plan. You travel. But when the roving gods of misfortune frown upon you, despite all preventative efforts, you could use some extra help. That’s where your Nokia comes in; it’s the perfect travel companion, helping you stay organized, connected, and on time. Read on for some Nokia tips to help you cope with the pitfalls you may encounter while on the road. Locking the keypad can ensure your Nokia phone has the juice it needs when you are ready to make that important call. |
When traveling, it’s vital that your phone works when you need it to. To make sure you don’t drain the battery by accidentally starting applications or calling contacts while your Nokia is tucked away in your purse or pocket, enable the keypad lock. To do this, press the left selection key and the blue function key simultaneously. When the keypad lock is on, any button press will display the unlock instructions. You’ll still be able to dial 911, but no other calls or applications will be accessible until you unlock the keypad. To unlock, press the left selection key and the blue function key again.
Outlook On Your Phone
When on the road, email is easily your most important method of communication, and recently Nokia made email on S60 3rd Edition smartphones even better. Late last year, Nokia announced that all S60 3rd Edition devices support Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and the Mail for Exchange mobile email application. If you purchased a Nokia Eseries or Nseries device in the past six months, then Mail for Exchange is already installed on your phone. If not, you can download it by pressing the Menu key, selecting Download, Email, and then Mail for Exchange. The following screen shows Mail for Exchange and a Quick Guide PDF. Select Mail for Exchange, press the Options softkey, and then select Get. You can also download the utility by visiting tinyurl.com/MailForExchange. Select your region and phone, and then click Show. Next, click the download link for the appropriate version and then use PC Suite to install it on your phone.
After installing the program, you’ll have real-time access to your email accounts on the Exchange Server, as well as your calendar, contacts, tasks, and company directory. Mail for Exchange isn’t difficult to enable either, thanks to Autodiscover, which lets you set up the account by entering your email address, password, domain, and username. Especially handy for frequent travelers is the ability to turn on Out Of Office messaging directly from your Nokia. Other handy features include synchronization, flag status for follow-ups, the ability to set email priorities, alerts for meeting request conflicts, a standalone global address list application, and the ability to download and edit attachments.

For additional security, you can lock your phone using a lock code. Press the Power key, select Lock Phone, and enter the lock code. The default lock code is 12345. To unlock the phone, press the Left selection key, input the lock code, and select OK. To change your lock code, press the Menu key; select Tools, Settings, Security, and Phone And SIM; and then select Lock Code. Next, select Options and Change. Enter the old (or default) lock code, select OK, enter the new lock code, select OK, and then enter the new lock code again to verify the change.
If you enter the code incorrectly three or more times, the phone will enter sleep mode. Turn the phone off and on and then try entering the code again after 15 minutes. If entering the default or manually changed security or lock code doesn’t work, you’ll need to visit an authorized Nokia service center to have the code reset.
